From Buying The Dress, To Finding The Perfect Date, Prom Is Worth It

The $100-$500 dress, the shoes that give you blisters, the stress of not knowing how to look and the fighting about making plans is worth it.

From Buying The Dress, To Finding The Perfect Date, Prom Is Worth It

The DJ at my Junior prom was the actual worst expectation that you could have of one, he made remixes of all the today's hits and made slow songs fast. That was the only bad thing about my first prom experience. Other than that, I had a great date, great friends, and a great time.

Prom is worth it because for the day it feels like everything is about you. The dress you want to wear, the shoes you choose to torture you (excluding the girls that wear converse or vans), and how you want your hair and makeup. On top of all that every's parents are gathered around to take pictures just like you're on the red carpet.

The attention isn't only the best part, if you have a good date, it could be a fantastic night. Obviously, if you don't talk to the person you're going with it's going to be awkward so why put yourself in that situation? If you go to prom, go to have fun with friends or your boyfriend/girlfriend. Don't put yourself in a situation where you're going to have a bad time because you will get what you give.

Also, to the male dates that think they're only at prom for the show, you're wrong. You can hype yourself up and think about how look you look very handsome in a tux. Your date will love seeing you in it and guys don't get pictures of themselves as often as girls, so this is your time to get some great Instagram pictures.

In all honesty, to have an amazing night like prom night and to be looking so good, the money is worth it. Don't miss your senior prom because of a broken relationship, friendship, or because you don't have a date. Senior prom is the last dance of high school and the opportunity to dance around in a gym with the people you grew up with will never happen again. I hope you choose to go and I hope you have a wonderful time!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
